MORE TO COME?
‘Anne With an E’ likely done; ‘Emily in Paris’ gets nod for second season
You have questions. I have some answers.
Q: Are there going to be more episodes of “Emily in Paris” and “Anne With an E”? I enjoyed both of them on Netflix.
A: “Anne With an E” appears to be done, for somewhat complicated reasons. In 2019, Canada’s CBC — which was a broadcaster of the show — announced it would no longer be making deals with Netflix. Such deals, one executive said, did not benefit Canada’s own TV industry. Not long after that, CBC and Netflix announced that the series’ third season was its last. There have been discussions about reviving the series, but nothing has come of it. Still, producers have more than once adapted the original source material, the novel “Anne of Green Gables,” and it is possible that will be visited again.
As for “Emily,” the latest series from “Sex and the City” creator Darren Star, has received an order for a second season. And those of you who were “SATC” fans should know that “And Just Like That,” a revival of “SATC,” is in the works for HBO Max with returning co-stars Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis. (Kim Cattrall will not be back.) Ten episodes are planned, with production starting in the spring.
Q: We love watching “Lucky Dog” on Saturday morning on CBS. On Jan. 2, it showed the sign Lucky Dog Ranch; however, the trainers and vet were all different. What happened to Brandon McMillan? I hope this change is temporary.
A: McMillan announced in October that he had done his last episode of the series, which he had been hosting since 2013. In an Instagram post, McMillan said, “As the years went on big money started pouring into the show which meant more cooks in the kitchen making decisions. This is where Hollywood can take a great idea and turn it into a money driven business. When the fun gets taken out of a TV show then it’s no longer fun to show up.”
Q: When will the series “Longmire” return, and where can we find it? Netflix, we hope.
A: The drama based on the novels by Craig Johnson ended after six seasons — three originally made for A&E and three more for Netflix. All six seasons are available on Netflix. The Outdoor Channel also carries repeats.
Q: I faithfully watched two seasons of “Jack Ryan” on Amazon Prime Video, but Season 3 has not yet arrived. Has it been canceled?
A: No. The drama starring John Krasinski has received an order for a third season. Production is expected to start this year.
